Chainsaw Repair

Did you get a chance to run that saw this winter? How did the heated handles compare to other models? I just dragged out my 490 last weekend. Been pulling out whatever odd saws grab my attention when I go into the cellar. Nothing wrong with a stock saw either. I've moved away from the notion that every saw needs to be modified.  I never mess with a saw if it's the only one of that model that I have. Especially with saws like this for which parts are scarce. It's a bit of history the way it came off the line, so I like to keep it that way.

Both my heated handles are in collectors hands now. The Jonsered 490 and Partner 5000 plus. 

I loved the heated handles on them compared to the new style on the 346's I ran.
